Wrong Stair Tread Bracket

 
 

Using the wrong stair tread brackets even if they are bigger isn't always better as you can see in the picture above. The bracket side that attaches to the stringer has 4 lag screws which is fine but the side that attaches to the tread has only2 lag screws. 2 lags will not be enough to keep the tread from loosening up over time causing the tread to wiggle becoming a safety hazard.
